One tube

Hi,

Some of you may remember me I dont post often but I have endo and had surgery last august to remove it all. I also lost my tube on the left side.

I am pretty sure my period just arrived and feel really shit. Does anyone have any positive stories post endo or one tube or both?

Really just need some hope because right now feel like a proper downer that this is just never going to happen for us.

Thank you in advance

Kelly🥺🙂

Hi kelsbels,

Really sorry you're having a tough time at the moment and can totally relate to how you feel.

I lost my left tube too and still every month have that hope that miraculously it might have worked. It's gutting when your period arrives and always takes me a few days to get myself back up off the sofa doing nothing but eating ice cream and watching sad netflix series that make me cry.

Would love to give you a positive outcome but I've not got mine yet but....yet. We are incredibly strong and resilient and IVF might be exactly the little bit of help you need. I will still be hopeful because however much science tells us there is still so much they don't know and I've got to trust there's a little magic out there waiting for the right egg and sperm to make my baby.

Hope your perfect ending is just around the corner and wishing you all the best xxx

Hi,

Thank you so much for sharing with me.

Thank you so much that is just the kind words I needed. There will be some magic somewhere, somehow. That initial bleed day is just so heartbreaking and every month I think I can’t do this anymore. The one thing I think that gets me through is my hubby. He didn’t ask for this so I keep going for him.

We will get our fairytale ending one day lots of luck and thank you xxxx

Hey 👋

Sorry to hear how you are feeling.

Just wanted to pass you some hope 😃

I have only one tube and stage 4 endo sufferer. I lost tube due to an ectopic. After the trauma of the ectopic me and my partner decided to go through ivf. We collected 8 eggs and ended up with 5. My first transfer worked and I now have an 8 week old baby boy. I still have 4 embryos in the future which I will try and use for a sibling for my son. I was told my body can carry but it’s the journey that is the issue.

I would maybe suggest trying ivf especially if you have one tube. Xxx 😘

Oh my this is amazing congratulations 👏🏻 this gives me hope.

How is it having twins? I always tell hubby this would be ideal so just one labour 😉 although I know it may be hard now I know it will get better having an old friend who had twins. Xxx

Hi there,I had my left tune removed after the ectopic pregnancy. At age 39 I did my first IVF that was successfull and now I am looking at my 9weeks old daughter.

Loosing a tube is not the end of the world even if it seems like that when you are going through it. Your eggs are fine and with a bit of help with IVF you will have your miracle baby. I also know of the women who had 3 babies with one tube only.

Remember though, you have eggs, you can get pregnant and this is already half of the battle.

Best of luck!

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️

Thank you for sharing I can say yesterday when I was crying all over my dining table it felt like the end of the world but today is just another day. I know my last egg check was low and I had some cysts removed so will need a new test to check them but hopefully there will be something usable left.

Thank you and congratulations on your little girl xxx

Hello I had an ectopic pregnant and lost my tube a few months later fell pregnant naturally again and lost my other tube I was already in the Ivf process so had embryos and was waiting for transfer after a we while I used my first frozen embryo and I’m currently nearly 30 weeks with a baby girl I was told getting pregnant wasn’t a problem or carrying a baby it was my tubes that where damaged due to endo I also had natural miscarriages too but you can get pregnant with one tube because it happened with me and if not I would definitely go for Ivf I’m a endo sufferer too xx

Hi

Yay congratulations!

Thank you for sharing all these amazing stories are giving me so much hope.

See this is the thing I have had 1 miscarriage although at the time didn’t know because I was on the pill and was told yrs after the fact that’s what it was but I’m not sure if i have recently or not but I’ve never had a +test ever(5yrs). I was really hoping that having my endo excised would help my body do it’s thing but so far nothing.

Thank you for sharing and lots of luck xxx

Hi kelsbels .

Around 6 years ago I had a op on my both tubes. Eventually doc decided to repair and open my left tube and my right tube need to be removed because it may effect me to get pregnant.

We try naturally for around a year and nothing so we went through ivf .

First cycle didn’t work , second cycle we have baby girl (4 in may) .

Then we done fresh cycle..didn’t work and after that we had two natural frozen and one medicated one ....all failed...

Finally we change the clinic done one more fresh cycle...and I’m currently 21 weeks +4 days .

I didn’t had endo but Having one tube gives 50% chances then having both . tubes.

If the doctor gives u green light to try naturally go ahead hun ...if u feel different way or your doc recommend other way then is all in your hands . Xxx

Hey Kelly. Me and my husband have been trying for a baby for 11 years and my pregnancies have never been successful.After investigation I had one of my tubes removed last January and was told my other tube is twisted and damaged.Due to my age and low egg count that there was a 5% chance of me getting pregnant. We was offered IVF, they bypass your tubes so it was the only chance I had really.I started IVF in August and am now currently 35 weeks pregnant.Never give up hope xx

Hi MakingBabyB!

Thank you for sharing that with me.

Massive congratulations - 11years is a really long time and I’m sorry it took so long for you! I don’t know how lovely ppl like yourself keep going when it takes so long I am not even half way and I’m struggling emotionally. So so much respect to you for that.

Thank you for sharing and giving me so much hope xxx
